SALT CONSUMPTION AND CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASES
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability in Croatia. Risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases can be divided into evidence-based risk factors and those with supposed relationship. Strong evidence suggests that current salt consumption is one of the most important factors infl uencing the increase in blood pressure, along with the risk for cerebrovascular diseases. Hypertension is an important modifi - able risk factor for stroke. Studies on salt have shown that decrease in blood pressure is in correlation with lower salt intake. Over-consumption of salt carries a higher risk for cerebrovascular disease in overweight individuals. Conservative estimates suggest that salt intake reduction of 3 g/d could reduce the stroke rate by 13% ; this percentage would be almost double if we reduced salt intake by 6 g/d, and triple with a 9 g/d reduction. Salt intake reduction by 9 g/d could reduce the stroke rate by almost 30%. Th is represents about 20500 prevented strokes each year. Data show evidence supporting a positive correlation of salt intake and stroke, independent of hypertension. Introduction of salt reduction proposal should be considered in future updates of stroke prevention recommendations.
